Volunteer Programs in Sri Lanka | Most Affordable Projects

My experience I had in this 4 weeks stay in Sri Lanka was soo unique! I really enjoyed this time because of the open minded and very kind people (other volunteers and staff) and the country itself! Time has gone by so fast and my program ‘Turtle Conservation’ was fun too. Amazing to work with such great animals ! The work you are doing in the hatchery is varied and sometimes a bit exhausting but nothing you can’t do. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I would definitely do it again it’s so worth it !

I spent 2 months in Sri Lanka in the Women Empowerment Program. It was an amazing experience. I really recommend this program, it is amazing how you can get close to these women and how much you learn about their muslim comunity and culture. During the weekdays, apart from working in the program, during your free time there are many activities to do: surfing, going to the beach, going to local shops, going to the swimming pool, doing some sports at the house... and during the evenings we used to get a beer in the beach restaurants, stayed at home watching films...
And also, in the weekends you have the opportunity to visit Sri Lanka, either with trips organized by the house or on your own.
I really recommend this experience, and Volunteering Solutions were available in case I had any trouble, but luckly I didnt have many.

Had a great time taking part in the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Galle, Sri Lanka. The project was a great way to raise awareness about the life of sea turtles. The local staff was extremely helpful and very patient, the volunteers were enthusiastic, Summer Garden Guesthouse, where I stayed, was super and very well located. Needless to say, the overall experience is something that I would definitely recommend for students, fresh graduates and young professionals. I hope to go back there soon!

I had the most amazing experience in Sri Lanka! Thanks to Tatiane and the team for wonderful support and trip. Highly recommend Volunteering Solutions!

The airport pickup was a bit delayed due to local conditions, but I was in constant contact with the coordinator and Tati on WhatsApp. The house was amazing and I loved staying there with 23 other volunteers from around the world. This was really nice, as we were able to meet in the evenings and go around on the weekends. People were there from Spain, Portugal, UK, Germany and US! The turtle project was nice and I also worked on the dog project for a week, which was nice.

I had an excellent time in Sri Lanka. The turtle project was amazing and the staff made us feel welcome. The house is great and the location is excellent. I am already looking to do more programs later in summer! The booking process was simple and fast, I had good support from Sahil and the team at office. The zoom calls before my travels made me very comfortable about the trip and also my parents were relieved. I did a lot of research and I am glad I found the right company to travel with. Already excited about the future trips!

My three months in Sri Lanka have been really great. The staff in the house was very nice and always willing to help if there was a problem. I also really liked my project and enjoyed the work and time with the sea turtles.The trips that I took part in were always very organized and full of new experiences. Since Sri Lanka has a lot to offer regarding it’s nature, cities and scenery I was always able to discover new and different parts of the country. I have met a lot of amazing people there and enjoyed my stay very much.

Spending this time volunteering in Kegalle was one of the best experiences of my life. Rosie is a phenomenal host and an incredibly friendly soul. The project itself was great fun, it was rewarding to help out, getting to know the elephants and washing them in the river. I'll miss them a lot! The girls at the orphanage melted my heart and I'll definitely be going back to do this project again. It was probably the most authentic way I could have experienced the country and Rosie was great in helping us sort out excursions and travel. Thanks so much!

Galle,Sri Lanka is definitely a place for travelers looking for some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle in the city. The orphanage was very much different from all my other travel volunteering experience primarily because of their very strict regulations, imposed on both volunteers and the children there. Once you get past that, you'd have an enjoyable time. Social scene was not as great as the other asian countries. Accommodation was pretty close to the beach, which gave me plenty of time to reflect and rejuvenate. Great experience nonetheless, but only if you're okay to be in the quiet.
